God of Pets-Chapter 423: Returning to the True Self, Part 2
Xiu Jie Ming had never fought such a frustrating battle, he almost became an irrelevant figure, relying solely on Fu Tianji to withstand the Golden Giant’s frenzied attacks.
His gaze grew increasingly intense, yet his expression became colder.
At this moment, Xiu Jie Ming realized that although Fu Tianji was at a similar level to him, his actual combat abilities far surpassed him.
Little did he know, Fu Tianji’s combat abilities were practically exchanged with his own life, he barely counted as human.
Xiu Jie Ming, however, did not care about all this; he even began thinking deeper.
Even someone like Fu Tianji was turned into this state by Chen Guan, while Xiu Jie Ming couldn’t even handle a single Golden Giant, losing almost all sense of usefulness.
This was something Xiu Jie Ming couldn’t endure; how could he be a person of little consequence?
He hadn’t considered that Chen Guan was right there, equally an irrelevant figure, even more useless compared to him.
He used an imagined version of Chen Guan as a benchmark, disregarding what the real Chen Guan was like.
Yet the current situation was such that Xiu Jie Ming indeed found it difficult to make an impact, and even in the state of Returning to the True Self, the strength of his physical body couldn’t compare to the Golden Giant.
His power couldn’t break the Golden Giant’s defense, while the Golden Giant’s power could cause significant damage to his body.
Abandoning Returning to the True Self wasn’t an option either, the Golden Giant could siphon off Primordial Energy, making it impossible to fight with Primordial Energy Skills.
"I can’t withstand the Golden Giant’s attacks, which means my physical body isn’t strong enough, as long as my body becomes stronger, all these problems will cease to be issues." Xiu Jie Ming’s gaze was nearly burning.
But after all, he wasn’t someone who acted impulsively; although his fighting spirit was overwhelming, his mind remained clear.
"How can I make my physical body stronger? Returning to the True Self is using Primordial Energy for an instant release, removing bodily impurities while strengthening the body... the stronger the Energy... the better the strengthening effect when releasing Energy..." Xiu Jie Ming gradually clarified his thoughts.
"I’ve already completed the process of Returning to the True Self, I can’t proceed further, even if I discard and redo it, with my Energy level, after Returning to the True Self, my body will still be at this strength, the difference won’t be significant, and even if slightly enhanced, it won’t have a decisive effect..." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"So now there is only one way... a second Returning to the True Self..." Xiu Jie Ming had made his decision.
He withdrew from the battlefield, leaving Fu Tianji to bear it all alone.
In fact, from the beginning, he hadn’t been of much use, so withdrawing from the battle made almost no difference.
Xiu Jie Ming wanted a second Returning to the True Self, but he no longer had Primordial Energy, making it impossible to utilize Returning to the True Self.
The situation now was somewhat unique; he indeed had no Energy left, but within his body were those Secret Knowledge, filled with Hidden Power, an abundance of Primordial Energy.
The Hidden Power itself was an accumulation of Primordial Energy, very sufficient in amount.
At this moment, Xiu Jie Ming was about to use this Secret Power to complete a second Returning to the True Self.
Xiu Jie Ming’s muscles began to tremble, his entire being resonated at a unique frequency.
Boom!
In the next second, Primordial Energy burst forth from within Xiu Jie Ming as if a fire demon erupted, escaping from his body.
As the Energy erupted, Xiu Jie Ming’s body became more solid; his muscles and bones were as luminous and delicate as jade, emitting a certain glow.
"Not enough... still not enough... this strength isn’t enough to confront the Golden Giant..." Xiu Jie Ming’s gaze was wild as if possessed, once again using Returning to the True Self.
Another Secret Collection was released, not utilized to attack the enemy but to further strengthen himself.
Continuous attempts at Returning to the True Self made Xiu Jie Ming’s body unrivaled, as if akin to a deity, glowing with divine brilliance everywhere.
His body became more crystalline and transparent, resembling flawless crystal, enabling a view of his internal organs through his external muscles and bones.
Even his internal organs began to become transparent, visibly showcasing internal operations and the flow of blood.
Boom!
As Xiu Jie Ming began to move, he directly shattered the sound barrier, producing an immense sonic boom, appearing almost instantaneously before the Golden Giant, delivering a punch onto its chest.
Bang!
The Golden Giant’s body incessantly retreated, crashing into the wall and collapsing a large portion of it.
A faint fist imprint emerged on the chest of the Golden Giant, although shallow, it was the first time it got injured.
Neither the Profound Iron Mace nor the Purple Gold Gourd Hammer could harm the Golden Body, but Xiu Jie Ming managed to leave a mark.
Buzz!
Xiu Jie Ming soared through the air once again, bringing divine light, his fists constantly swinging.
The Golden Giant leaped high, its fist glowing divinely, charging forth in response.
Bang Bang! Bang Bang!
The ferocious clash of forces produced explosive outbursts, destroying everything nearby.
The stone slabs on the ground shattered, stones flew chaotically, nearby walls and stone houses collapsed in ruin.
"Not enough... still not enough..." Xiu Jie Ming realized his physical body’s strength still wasn’t enough to defeat the Golden Giant, merely matching its physical strength.
Yet the Golden Giant not only had formidable physical strength but could also utilize various Secret Skills and Hidden Power, leaving Xiu Jie Ming at a disadvantage.
Fu Tianji joined the fray, flanking the Golden Giant with him, neither succeeding in suppressing it, though they no longer suffered as previously.
Xiu Jie Ming suddenly retreated, Primordial Energy erupting from his body again, employing Returning to the True Self once more.
But after this attempt, Xiu Jie Ming’s body indeed became stronger, his radiance even brighter, but he could feel his body reaching its limit, barely able to endure this enhancement, fearing it might split open if continued.
But Xiu Jie Ming couldn’t afford to care even now, he must win this battle no matter what.
Boom!
Xiu Jie Ming utilized Returning to the True Self once more, another Hidden Power erupted like a volcanic explosion from within him.
Xiu Jie Ming’s body had become wholly crystal-transparent, flawless, without any impurities; if not for his body shining with intense radiance, he appeared as a transparent being.
Boom!
Xiu Jie Ming moved again, his fists carrying unparalleled power, striking once more towards the Golden Giant.
The Golden Giant was entangled by Fu Tianji, unable to evade in time, forced to counter with his fist, spawning astonishing sun rays with another Sun God Fist.
In his hands, the Sun God Fist was more terrifying than Hidden Power, far surpassing when Hu Quan used it.
The golden sun expanded fiercely, engulfing everything nearby, forming a gigantic globule of light.
